I remember when Rob was a "wet behind the ears" Paramedic. He had a heart of gold and loved what he did. My heart hurts to hear of his passing. A true loss for all that knew him

There are no words outside of heartbroken hearing of Robs passing. Having met him when he was 18 and heading out to college, there will always be many wonderful memories to keep him in our hearts. No parent should ever have to face the loss of their child but life unfairly changes our plans without warning. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of the family as you face the times ahead. Love Beth B.
